 After digging it up I prepared to repair Elizabeth Early's gravestone. |
 Elizabeth's stone is leaning on her father-in-law Henry's stone. |
 After drilling the base portion of the stone and the main portion of the stone and dry-fitting the two pieces with nylon posts in place (above), the two pieces were epoxied together (right). Elizabeth Early died May 3 1870 aged 71y 7m 19d |

 On the left lies part of the stone of Nimrod Snider. To the right is the stone of Milton L. Snider; son of N & H |
 Unfortunately, Nimrod's stone is broken off at the date and the part with the date was not found. |
 Malvina's gravestone had a little mulberry bush growing next to it. |
 I cut the bush down as far as I could with the tools I had with me. |
 Since the roots and trunk of the mulberry bush are right against the stone, I must be careful not to damage the stone trying to remove them. |
 |
 This close-up reveals that Malvina was aged 32 years. |
 The roots and stone around the base of the stone are difficult to budge. |
 This stone is next to the stone of Daniel and Elizabeth Flora. Are they your relatives? |
